Booking Through Thursday: E-Volution

E-readers like the Kindle and iPad are sweeping the nation … do you have one? Do you like it? Do you find it changes your reading/buying habits? If you don’t have one, do you plan to?

A:

I do have an E-Reader. It’s a Sony one, nothing special, but I received it as a present from my mommy for Christmas 2 years ago.

I do like it. It’s easy to carry in my purse, I can have many books on hand at a time, and it makes for reading in the metro and train a whole lot easier.

My reading habits haven’t changed. I actually haven’t really been using my E-Reader a whole lot lately. I will probably use it more once school begins, but for now I’ve been reading good ol’ regular books. When I am using my E-Reader, while it is easier to carry along, I do miss “real” books. I miss holding them in my hands, turning the pages, and the smell of an old book. These things I do miss.

I do recommend that everyone buy an E-Reader for travel and convenience. However, for me, an E-Reader will never take the place of a favorite paperback or hardcover.

I’ve been having this debate with friends for a while. I haven’t taken the plunge yet and bought any kind of Kindle or E-Reader yet, but friends who have, really like them.

I can completely see the lure of these, it’s like an Ipod for your music, but for your books. Maybe I will get one one day, but for now I’m enjoying my books. Maybe if I ever get to go on holiday I might invest in one! 😛

Ah, I getcha! 🙂 Well I’m not too bad with them as I copywrite for a living, so I think mine fits quite well (I hope!)

Ermm, I think mine has been writing chronologically! I just can’t do it. I’ve done some of the end, some of the middle and beginning! Haha! I’m also worried I’m going to finish my story before 50,000 words! Eep! Ah, I just try and type it exactly how I would say it (if possible) and then add in bits around the dialogue to bring it to life!
